One Star-Spangled Night
by Rogenna Brewer
Life is full of second chances...Sleep is the last thing
on Captain Doug Reese's mind when he finds himself in charge of a
disabled aircraft carrier and a disheartened crew. Once the ship pulls
safely into dry dock, however, his insomnia becomes an issue and Doug is
ordered into counseling. Instead of seeing a shrink, Doug seeks out the lowest ranking Navy Chaplain he can find.Lieutenant
Lindsey Alexander might be fresh out of seminary, but she's not as
naive as the world weary Captain believes. She knows he has no interest
in her advice. So she makes him an offer he can't refuse: Lunch--and
he's buying. One hour a day for ten days.By the time his
sentence is up, sparks are flying between the Naval Aviator and the
Navy Chaplain. Until past mistakes threaten their sparkling future.Author's
